Artist To Watch: SZNS

Girl groups are back and we LOVE TO SEE IT! SZNS are bringing girl power to the front with their brand new single, “Behave.” Made up of four friends, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn blend their unique vocals creating a fresh, new take on the classic 90s girl group sound.

SZNS new single, “Behave,” features the group’s conversational lyricism and wit, setting them apart from the crowd. When asked about the new single, the girls agreed “Behave is for every girl who’s been told to act like a lady: to sit up straight, be polite, to let the grown ups talk. Our entire lives we’ve been told that we’re ‘doing too much’ or acting ‘too intense’ – Behave is about being unapologetic, and taking up the space you deserve, despite what anyone else might say. If being demure and soft-spoken is good behavior, then I guess we never learned how to behave”.

Listen to “Behave” below!

SZNS expect to have an EP for each season, highlighting their wit, emanating power, and vulnerability, with tracks ranging from dance dropping beats to sultry ballads.

Opening for this tour is the one and only Chris Janson, who skyrocketed to the top of the charts with his single “Buy Me A Boat” and continued that streak with “Power Of Positive Drinking.” We’ve heard rave reviews of his live performances and can’t wait to see him!

 

Maren Morris is also set to open for Sam on this new tour, with her dreamy country hits like “80s Mercedes” and “My Church.”   Last but not least, we’re stoked to see Ryan Follese from Hot Chelle Rae back in the music scene!  Songs from Ryan’s debut country album, “Put A Label On It,” will really get the party started.  Make sure you get there early to check out this amazing lineup!  Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday February 3rd at 10AM local venue time.
